2 The Advent of an Advanced Mobile System Featuring Superb Image Quality and Easy Handling Modern medical facilities require rapid examinations under a variety of situations. This newly launched, state-of-the-art mobile system is available in two forms: the standard type, which further enhances the highly-acclaimed maneuverability and easy handling of Shimadzu mobile systems and the high-power type, with 32 kw maximum power output for superior image quality. This high-power type ensures blur-free images and short exposure times, even for children and patients who find it difficult to keep still. The system provides powerful support in medical facilities, thanks to easy positioning in restrictive locations, and outstanding operability, which allows intuitive movement of the unit by the operator. This is truly a reliable mobile system. Excellent Performance Supports Easier Ward Radiography 2

4 Brilliant Driving and Outstanding Operability Reliable basic functionality delivers superb performance Intuitive maneuverability Shimadzu's acclaimed power-assist function allows the operator to drive the MobileArt Evolution naturally, simply by applying light pressure to the drive handle. The unit moves just as the operator desires, achieving excellent handling when navigating around the wards. The MobileArt Evolution provides unrivalled turning and maneuverability. Low driving noise, ensuring quiet hospital environments The silent motor and enhanced unit rigidity reduce driving noise. Quiet enough for ward radiography even at night. Adjustable drive handle height Safety alarm when driving To avoid accidents when maneuvering the MobileArt Evolution around crowded medical facilities, an alarm can be used while in motion to alert others to the presence of the unit. During installation, the drive handle can be set at 4 cm, 6 cm, or 9 cm above the standard height. This makes ward radiography tasks more comfortable for tall operators. Shock-resistant body design The body cover has been strengthened to prevent damage should the unit hit an object when moving around the wards. The unique soft-touch bumper automatically stops the unit when even the slightest pressure is detected. The stylish body is designed to be highly shock-resistant. 4

5 Inch-mover buttons Press the inch-mover buttons on the front of the collimator to inch the unit backwards or forwards. As a safety measure, any force applied to the drive handle during inch-mover operations stops movement of the unit. In addition, an interlock prevents X-ray irradiation while the MobileArt Evolution is in motion. Easy positioning The counterbalance system ensures smooth operation and accurate positioning. It easily supports fine positioning and multidirectional radiography. Wide imaging range The extra-long 1200 mm maximum arm can freely rotate to provide coverage over an extensive imaging range. This provides powerful support for radiography in confined spaces around beds. 1200mm All Free buttons Press one of the [All Free] buttons to release all electromagnetic locks on arm rotation, arm extension, and vertical movement of the X-ray tube. An [All Free] button is also located on the arm, to allow column-side positioning as well as from the collimator. New energy saving collimator with a bright irradiation field LEDs have been adopted as the light source to indicate the irradiation field. This reduces power consumption while improving brightness levels and durability. 5

6 Great Image Quality You Can Trust High image quality at the optimal instant, even with patients who are unable to maintain a fixed posture Blurring suppressed by short exposure time Images tend to become blurred due to body movements during radiography, especially with children or emergency patients who find it difficult to maintain a fixed posture. The MobileArt Evolution lineup features a high-power type that reduces exposure times. The 32 kw maximum power output delivers excellent image quality and short exposure times. This ensures sharp images with minimal blurring, even if the patient moves.

Inverter frequency Tube voltage Tube current-time product Max. Max. Max. 60 khz 133 kv 320 mas *) Maximum tube voltage of the standard type is 125 kv. Simply select one of the 72 preset anatomical programs (APR) to configure the optimal radiography conditions for the corresponding radiography region, direction, and body thickness. The focal spot size can also be preset in the high-power type. The collimator efficiently eliminates X-rays outside of the focal spot, creating sharper images. APR Regions Directions Body thicknesses Programs Clear illuminated indication of exposure timing Both Ready Up and Exposure statuses, which largely control the exposure timing, are indicated by the brightly illuminated, easy to read indicators. The exposure field lamp also lights up again in the Ready Up status. The exposure timing can thus be accurately confirmed at a distance from the unit, allowing the operator to instruct the patient when to hold their breath. Illuminated hand switch The optional illuminated hand switch lights up in different colors to show the Ready Up or Exposure status, providing a clear indication of the exposure timing.

If an optional dose area product meter is included, the actual measured dosage can be displayed, rather than the calculated value. In addition, if an optional distance meter is included, the distance to the patient can be displayed at the top of the collimator. (A distance meter cannot be installed if a dose area product meter is installed.) 7
